Let Your Camera Do The Hard Part

These tips came from a super 8 camera manual printed in 1979 but amazingly they still hold true today.

My friends over at Pure Fix Cycles sent through this video of their homies riding in Los Angeles. Check out their store for some good pricing on road bikes and their vimeo page has some good tutorials for bike maintenance.

10Snaps

The well-known BMXFU dudes just started up a new feature on their website, and it’s a pretty dope idea.  As Scott Barker says, “we showcase up and coming photographer’s favorite 10 photos they have shot recently.”  I’m into it, and first up is Eric Marshall, hailing from Winnipeg.  He’s a good dude, and he’s got some cool photos up, so check it out!  Scott is going to post new 10Snaps pretty frequently, so check back at BMXFU.COM for updates…

Yes, I started watermarking my photos. It only makes sense since I see so many photos go uncredited on the internet these days.

2011 in review (pretty weak)

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 38,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 14 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
